Inside the Studio

Located in a restored 19th-century boat workshop, the studio is a calm, light-filled space designed for learning, creating, and working by hand. Workshops here are small, personal, and rooted in thoughtful, hands-on design.

Our Approach

A Space for Design & Slow Making

At Basäder Studio, we focus on design, skill-building, and hands-on learning. Rooted in Scandinavian simplicity, our workshops guide you step-by-step through timeless techniques, helping you create something real, lasting, and meaningful, at a calm, steady pace.

A New Direction

A Continuation, Not a Departure

For 13 years, Basäder expressed itself through handcrafted leather goods, creating quiet pieces made slowly and with intention. That story isn’t ending. It’s evolving.

The studio is now open for those who wish to learn the art behind the work: the techniques, the materials, the design philosophy, and the satisfaction of making something lasting with your own hands.

The hands are the same. The values are the same. The expression is simply expanding.

What We Offer

Meet the Designer

Guided by Designer Elin Johansson Antonelli

With a background in fashion and accessory design (FIT + Ralph Lauren) and over a decade of studio practice, Elin teaches through a design-first lens, blending timeless techniques with a modern, Scandinavian sensibility. Her workshops are personal, warm, and rooted in the belief that making with our hands matters.

Handcrafted Goods

Basäder began with handcrafted products, and they will still appear — slowly, seasonally, and in small quantities. The shop will continue quietly, alongside the studio.
